What does python -c "import sys; print sys.path" say ?
A lot! 41 entries, and lot's of eggs -- are eggs an issue? I'm also wondering how the order is determined -- if it looked in site-packages first, it would find numpy a whole lot faster. I also tried: python -v -v -c "import numpy" &>junk2.txt which results in: # installing zipimport hook import zipimport # builtin # installed zipimport hook # trying /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site.so # trying /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/sitemodule.so # trying /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site.py ... ... And a LOT more: $ grep "# trying" junk2.txt | wc -l 7446 For comaprison: $ python -v -v -c "import sys" &>junk3.txt $ grep "# trying" junk3.txt | wc -l 618 which still seems like a lot. So I think I've found the problem, it's looking in 7446 places ! but why? I suspect the thing to do is to re-install from scratch, and only add in packages I'm really using now. I wonder if making sure all eggs are unzipped would help, too. Thanks for all your help on what is really OT at this point. -Chris $ python -c "import sys; [sys.stdout.write(p+'\n') for p in sys.path]; print len(sys.path) " /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/altgraph-0.6.7-py2.5.egg /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Pyrex-0.9.5.1a-py2.5.egg /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Shapely-1.0-py2.5.egg /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ipython-0.8.2-py2.5.egg /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c8-py2.5.egg /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/py2app-0.4.2-py2.5.egg /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/modulegraph-0.7.2.dev_r21-py2.5.egg /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PyPubSub-3.0a5-py2.5.egg /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/macholib-1.2.1.dev_r23-py2.5.egg /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib-0.98.0-py2.5-macosx-10.3-fat.egg /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/nose-0.10.3-py2.5.egg /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Pylons-0.9.7beta5-py2.5.egg /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Tempita-0.2-py2.5.egg /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/WebError-0.8-py2.5.egg /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/WebOb-0.9.2-py2.5.egg /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Mako-0.2.0-py2.5.egg /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/decorator-2.2.0-py2.5.egg /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/simplejson-1.8.1-py2.5-macosx-10.3-ppc.egg /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/FormEncode-1.0.1-py2.5.egg /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PasteScript-1.6.3-py2.5.egg /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PasteDeploy-1.3.2-py2.5.egg /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Paste-1.6-py2.5.egg /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Beaker-0.9.5-py2.5.egg /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/WebHelpers-0.6dev_20080613-py2.5.egg /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Routes-1.9-py2.5.egg /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/bdist_mpkg-0.4.3-py2.5.egg /Users/cbarker/HAZMAT/Hazpy/trunk/lib /usr/local/lib/wxPython-unicode-2.8.8.1/lib/python2.5/site-packages /usr/local/lib/wxPython-unicode-2.8.8.1/lib/python2.5/site-packages/wx-2.8-mac-unicode /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python25.zip /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5 /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/plat-darwin /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/plat-mac /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/lib-tk /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PIL /usr/local/lib/wxPython-unicode-2.8.8.1/lib/python2.5 41
Any idea what could be wrong? I have no clue where to start, though I suppose a complete clean out and re-install of python comes to mind.
oh, and this is a dual G5 PPC (which should have a faster disk than your Macbook)
disk should not matter. If hot, everything should be in the IO buffer, opening a file is of the order of a few micro seconds (that's certainly the order on Linux; the VM on Mac OS X is likely not as good, but still).
